This guts one of the last federal safeguards against systemic financial discrimination, allowing banks, mortgage lenders, & auto dealers to quietly revive redlining-era practices with near impunity. Trump is embedding inequality into the US financial system.

Imagine being a DOJ attorney and arguing the Government's position that funds for hungry children and seniors should be withheld. This should be a stain on their resumes which follows them their entire careers and haunts them in their dreams.

The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.

The party that controls every branch of government is voluntarily making everything more difficult and more expensive for you, the common American. Let's see how that plays out politically for them.

Another thing to add: Seattle’s light rail system isn’t even full bore, and it’s amazing. Paid $6 instead of like $60 for parking and it’s efficient, on time, and cleared all the people using it out of the stadium in like 20 minutes. Crazy.

An overflowing dumpster at a mobile home park today in Kalamazoo.
Tenants worry, because uncollected trash a couple months ago led to roaches, they say.
The park had its water cut temporarily last month because management hadn’t paid the bill.

This should be treated like the crisis that it clearly is.
If any other act of violence killed 3 people in 2 days in Calgary it would be front page news.
perfect example of the bias @drtaragoddard.com writes about.
Instead of discussing "stranger danger" with my kids I go on endlessly about cars
